Verbal nightmare

To get to around 700, you should aim for V40 or so. For a V40, you need to be strong in at least 2 of the 3 sections and at least average in the third.
With a Q 48, I don't think you should have any problem in getting CR consistently correct. There are a few question types and very standard ways of dealing with them. If you follow the right approach, barring very few questions, you should mostly get them correct. The strategy would be something like this: Focus on conclusions when dealing with strengthen/weaken questions; Identify clearly the 2 sides of the situation in a paradox question etc. Get solid basics and questions will start making sense on their own.
SC is a lot meaning based nowadays i.e. it doesn't test old arcane grammar rules - it tests whether you are capable of identifying the option that is grammatically correct and makes sense.
RC is a little bit about the various question types and a lot about practice. Practice as many passages a you can from history, science, economics, business - anything and everything.

Thank you Jim. This is a very good advice. I need to review my answer choices thoroughly!
Until today my focus was only to get the question correct. Perhaps GMAT does not work that way.

Hello Jumsumtak, honestly speaking for practice questions I am referring only the OG (10,12 and 13). Unfortunately, I am not able to establish a correlation between how I practice and how I score in the exam, perhaps I will start doing that now.
I am using gmat prep test standard software shared by mba.com

On all three occassions of my test, I noticed that the number of questions were not exactly 1/3rd.
I have written down my score in last test

CR - Total questions = 10, 4 Right and 6 Wrong
SC - Total questions = 18, 14 Right and 4 Wrong
RC - Total questions = 13, 7 Right and 6 Wrong

Actually I was surprised by my CR score, I thought I was not so bad.
RC I am happy with the improvement, I was never a good reader and I am trying my best to overcome it.

Exactly! You need to start to recognize why things are wrong. It will help you eliminate answers, the preferred method for selecting verbal answers.

Thanks Karishma.
I was never keen on reading but I realise its importance now. For RC, I am using OG-10, 11 question set. I get most of the answer choices correct the second time when I do the RC. Perhaps it is more of understanding problem at the first go?
My SC is improving and somehow I notice how question setter introduces error purposefully.
CR I face troubles after from question number 100 onwards on OG.

Although I am not a thread starter ,I am facing same issues but with a different mock series.

I have attached my mock_track excel sheet .

Issues:

(1). CR should be attempted by rules,or merely by intuition because I found that intuition helps more in CR than rules.
(2). Whenever I do SC questions in mock I found something new some new rule or so,and get stumped so easily.
(3). RC - sometimes right sometimes wrong, so that is why from the last 2 months I am concentrating on SC/CR because 29 questions are covered by them.

My past:

Started preparing : 21 Aug 2012
Planned GMAT : 10 Dec 2012

But due to poor mock scores didn't even think of appearing in exam.

I study daily for 2-3 hrs early morning sessions and give full weekends to study, as I am working .Going to get marry in Dec '13 so definitely wanna crack before it

Karishma your two cents on above please.

hi tgc,
I am in the same position as you.
How you achieved 680?

Thanks & regards,
